320人の生徒の外国語選択の結果を生徒の心理的、両親の社会的態度、日本語習得の困難度、教師のプロモーション方法、学校側の態勢などより検討してみた。また、もう一面 として6週間の中学一年生の言語発達能力の限界をも描写してみた。, In public schools in the United States, the foreign language exploration/experience (FLEX) program has a long history, with an ebb-and-flow tidal phenomenon in practice. Along with the emergence of the Japanese language in the high school foreign language curriculum in the United States, it is apparent that a gradual top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top curriculum expansion has been taking place.
 This paper focuses on Japanese language in the FLEX program, offered in the first year in a suburban middle school, progressing to a formal sequential Japanese language course establishment. An examination of the learners' selection of a foreign language after their participation in the FLEX program has revealed that the initiation of formal Japanese language courses and their solidification as viable subjects in school curricula,(without referring to curricular evaluative measurements) are affected by such variables as the following: curriculum policy decision by school administrators, support by other foreign language teachers, community residents' interest, learner characteristics, and the availability of competent teachers. These variables are intertwined in the establishment and implementation of Japanese courses.
 A side from such external elements, the learning outcome of the seventh grade students is articulated in behavioral terms in three areas: affective domain (achieving general education goals): oral activities ; and kanji learning. Thus, this article provides a glimpse of surrounding educational environments and a middle school FLEX classroom specific to Japanese language instruction., 2, KJ00000611464},
